1 Medicare Beneficiary Services:1-800-MEDICARE ( ) TTY/ TDD: Thank you for your recent request for the Patient s Request for Medical Payment form (CMS-1490S). Enclosed is the form, instructions for completing it, and where to return the form for processing. The address where you need to return the form for processing depends on where the service was received. For example: If you received a service in Alabama, you need to send your claim to the address for Alabama as indicated on the chart included in this packet. Please send the completed claim form, your itemized bill, and any supporting documents to the appropriate Medicare contractor and explain in detail your reason for submitting the claim. For example, include a statement that notifies the Medicare contractor that your provider or supplier refused or is unable to file a claim for a Medicare-covered service and/or is not enrolled with Medicare. Doctors, providers, and suppliers are required to submit claims to Medicare when providing covered services. You can reduce your out-of-pocket expense by seeing a doctor or supplier that is enrolled in Medicare and bills Medicare for the services provided. When you submit your own claim to Medicare, complete the entire form. If you are unable to find the National Provider Identifier (NPI) number, the Medicare contractor will look this up when processing your claim form. However, if the claim form has other incomplete or invalid information, the Medicare contractor will return the claim along with a letter to you clearly stating what information is missing or invalid. You should mail the original claim form, a copy of the itemized bill, and supporting documents to Medicare. You should make copies of your claim submission for your records. Please allow at least 60 days for Medicare to receive and process your request. If you have any other questions, please feel free to call us at MEDICARE ( ). Sincerely, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

COLLECTION AND USE OF MEDICARE INFORMATION We are authorized by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to ask you for information needed in the administration of the Medicare program. Authority to collect information is in section 205(a), 1872 and 1875 of the Social Security Act, as amended. The information we obtain to complete your Medicare claim is used to identify you and to determine your eligibility. It is also used to decide if the services and supplies you received are covered by Medicare and to insure that proper payment is made. The information may also be given to other providers of services, carriers, intermediaries, medical review boards, and other organizations as necessary to administer the Medicare program. For example, it may be necessary to disclose information to a hospital or doctor about the Medicare benefits you have used. With one exception, which is discussed below, there are no penalties under Social Security law for refusing to supply information. However, failure to furnish information regarding the medical services rendered or the amount charged would prevent payment of the claim. Failure to furnish any other information, such as name or claim number, would delay payment of the claim. It is mandatory that you tell us if you are being treated for a work related injury so we can determine whether worker s compensation will pay for the treatment. Section 1877(a)(3) of the Social Security Act provides criminal penalties for withholding this information. According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 16 minutes per response, including the time to review instructions, searching existing data resources, gather the data needed, and complete and review the information collection. If you have any comments concerning the accuracy of the time estimate(s) or suggestions for improving this form, please write to: CMS, Attn: PRA Reports Clearance Officer, 7500 Security Boulevard, Baltimore, Maryland DO NOT MAIL COMPLETED CLAIM FORMS TO THIS ADDRESS.
